00:00Well, they are you would say the toast of the town here in Hollywood along with one other young lady

00:06there's Ariana Grande Cynthia Erivo and

00:10Moana, but she's animated we didn't get her but we did get the other two out in New York City where they are still

00:17Riding high on the success of this movie after two weeks. I believe it's approaching

00:22400 million globally so an enormous success, but what does that mean for them going forward?

00:28There's a couple of things though

00:29We got Ariana who you're about to see here talking about their bond that they formed over that remember

00:35It took them a very long what? Oh, it took two years

00:39Yeah, because remember there was a pandemic in the middle of it and they've also shot two movies, right?

00:44So they've spent a lot of time together

00:46We talked to Ariana about that and then Cynthia you're gonna hear talking about

00:51The sing-along version of wicked which I kind of thought they were all sing-along versions

00:57but no, they're actually gonna be putting a special specific one with the lyrics would be at the bottom with the bouncing ball and the

01:02Whole thing and they encourage people to sing along instead of discouraging it. It's something you're gonna miss that one. Mm-hmm

01:09Yeah, we say that now

01:10But here they are talking about their incredible success. I mean, can we see a long?

01:18Lifelong friendship between you and Cynthia

01:21I don't want to go

01:25Did you know that wicked was gonna be this big we know it was gonna be big but

01:31Why are you surprised at how big it is at this point?

01:38Mr. Rebo, so when it comes to all the sing-along, right? Yes. Are you excited for the actual sing-along where people?

01:45Oh

01:50Now

01:53How often have fans sang for you while you're signing autographs

02:00Wait a minute, so I got a question if Cynthia goes

02:04Can she really sing with everybody else cuz it's like a professional singer doing karaoke. I think she'd be drowned out though

02:11She's just one person. I don't know

02:13She's the one person that you actually want to hear sing

02:16You don't want to be stuck to the theater kid that thinks that they sound like her and you don't want to be stuck to

02:20The person that sounds like a dying cow, right? Right, which is what she's gonna encounter

02:25So if she goes everybody's gonna say shut up Cynthia singing, right?

02:29Nobody's gonna say it's really a valid point as well because not everybody's gonna get that experience

02:33Hi, my name is Shailene. I'm from Oklahoma. I think that this movie is amazing

02:39I love that Cynthia is actually getting her flowers

02:41I love that she's enjoying seeing that her fans are actually engaging with her and if she actually does show up to

02:47One of the viewings I think they should do something themed to where everyone is dressed up to where they can actually

02:52Enjoy and actually bring the film to life. I think that would be a great opportunity. Yeah, it's gonna get a billion bucks
